The importance of panic button drills - Motorola Solutions Blog

Rave Panic Button can be used in emergency situations to improve response times for first responders and provide critical information to those on and off site. However, technology can only be useful in an emergency if your people know how to use it properly.

Panic Button drills are important because they prepare individuals and organizations for emergencies. These drills help familiarize people with the location and proper use of panic buttons, ensuring a quick and effective response in a crisis.

To ensure you are prepared should the unthinkable occur, Motorola Solutions has compiled our top 4 best practice recommendations:

• Promote the availability of Rave Panic Button to your staff, solicit mobile numbers and be sure they are entered into your Panic Button profile and have staff download the app.
• Incorporate Rave Panic Button into your existing Emergency Operations Plans, if you haven’t already, and train your staff on the proper use of Panic Button.
• Conduct regular exercises, starting with the activation of Rave Panic Button, in coordination with local public safety agencies and 9-1-1.  
• Leverage the staff assist capability for routine and non-emergency internal communications.  The more your staff uses and receives notifications through the app, the more it will become second nature.
